For the 'experts' out there, the bit about creating the folder "SWMinis_8-1_ext" shouldn't be necessary. Everything in that folder could be moved up one level into the "Vassal" folder without breaking anything, or the folder could be given a less obscure name maybe "Star Wars Minis" or something. So people can experiment with that if they want.

Otherwise, nice job.

Just to be sure I have this straight... I tend to avoid folder names tied to version numbers as I don't plan to keep multiple (older) modules "installed".

If my MOD file is named SWMinis.mod, then I can either put the extracted maps files in the same folder with the MOD, or a subfolder named SWminis_ext? Or does any folder name work so long as it is one level below the folder with the MOD?

Yeah, that is how I thought it needed to be. Unless I misread Nickname's comment, he seemed to imply that the map files could be placed directly in the Vassal folder (along with the MOD). No matter, as long as it works! Now, to find the time to learn my way around the blasted thing

Nope. My comment stated (not implied ) that the folder that contains the MOD file (not the subfolder that contains the MDX map extensions) could have a less obscure name, or any name really, and that is true.

Thanks Dean for the easy to follow instructions. I have tried to follow some of the other guides but have never gotten Vassal to load correctly. I think I am finally ready to play my first game on Vassal. Now if I can just find someone to play an easy practice game so I can learn the controls.

evening is usually a good time.. depending on your time zone of course! You can always mosey over to the vassal forum and post availability to set up a game with someone perhaps.
